Virtual Bridges today announced it has been named a “Major Player” in
the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Client Virtualization 2012 Vendor
Analysis (Doc #237753, November 2012).

The company’s flagship offering, VERDE simplifies desktop management,
improves security and increases business agility. It provides end users
access to Windows and Linux desktops from any location or device —
including tablets, netbooks, laptops and thin clients – and enables IT
professionals to manage desktops centrally, reducing the costs and
challenges associated with provisioning, updating and securing highly
distributed PC environments.

VERDE key features include Gold Master provisioning, Storage Optimizer,
a Distributed Connection brokering architecture, flexibility to run both
Windows and Linux desktops, branch-level VDI at LAN speeds, support for
on-premises and hosted deployment, and desktop portability on a USB
stick.

“From BYOD to disaster recovery to cloud services, IT organizations are
increasingly seeking virtualization solutions that are open, affordable
and scalable, and deliver real results,” said Jim
Curtin, CEO of Virtual Bridges. “Over the last year, VERDE has led
the market in innovation, delivering new solutions for branch and
regional offices, advanced offerings for MSPs, multi-tenant capabilities
and a Storage Optimizer to slash storage costs. Virtual Bridges is
thrilled to once again be named a Major Player by IDC, providing a
powerful alternative to proprietary virtualization solutions.”

IDC MarketScape vendor analysis model is designed to provide an overview
of the competitive fitness of ICT (information and communications
technology) suppliers in a given market. The research methodology
utilizes a rigorous scoring methodology based on both qualitative and
quantitative criteria that results in a single graphical illustration of
each vendor’s position within a given market. IDC MarketScape provides a
clear framework in which the product and service offerings, capabilities
and strategies, and current and future market success factors of IT and
telecommunications vendors can be meaningfully compared. The framework
also provides technology buyers with a 360-degree assessment of the
strengths and weaknesses of current and prospective vendors.
